MOROCCO- EARTHQUAKE RELIEF ( for remote areas)

Hello friends and family! Many of you have asked how to help. While there are many great organizations and fundraising efforts that have been set up, the purpose of this particular fundraiser is to ensure that the money you donate is going directly into the hands of the communities most impacted -in the High Atlas, nearest to the epicenter.

My sister, especially, knows these communities in the High Atlas after several years of organizing trips with her students to these areas and works with people from this region, who have been directly impacted. The majority of the people from the epicenter region, come from very modest means, and have now lost what little they did have- their homes, their loved ones, their community. My family will be working directly with these families- on the ground- with the support of other trusted Moroccans to ensure that donations are going towards priority needs such as:

Tents for shelter

Essential food and water

Medicine- (many of the older generation, in particular, are in need of their regular pain medications)

Material for home reconstruction

Direct cash assistance to families

Direct cash assistance to community leaders such as Zawiyas (that will work with their community members to provide support)

My family and their trusted friends, will be capturing photos and videos incase you're interested to see how your contribution is directly making a difference!

THANK YOU! While we are grateful for the safety of our own family and friends, our hearts are broken about the lives that have been destroyed. Thank you for being a part of this and making a difference in the communities who need it the most.
